Imperfections
The little things, that make us different, separate us from the world.
The world sees imperfections in a way that make us want to hide our own.
We see our flaws right down to the bone.
We fight to hide our flaws every day…
Looking to hide our imperfections in each and every way.
We were crafted out of clay,
So weren’t we made to be this way?
At least for a reason?
Just like each season?
Our flaws and imperfections are what make us unique in our own little fashion.
We each have our own different passion.

A Love Lost
The man walks to the nearby cemetery.
He never thought he would be here…
At least not for his love that has been lost.
He lays a beautiful, rich, red rose on the grave of his beloved.
“Oh, why did this happen,” he cries.
He feels so unloved.
His tears begin to fall where the rose now lies.
Sorrow and despair begin to consume him.
He now carries, as a burden, the weight of this depression on his shoulders.
She vanished from his life on a whim.
He has lost the only thing he has ever truly loved.
He can’t ever feel the warmth...

The Desire to Be Normal
Everyone has this desire to be normal,
But what does being normal really mean?
This burning desire that we have inside, to be a certain standard, gets us nowhere,
But, yet, we still cave to the world’s dare.
The dare to be different from humanity.
To abide by everyone’s standards is pure insanity.
We long to be ordinary.
It is a burden we all carry.
How can we crave this,
Like we would a lover’s kiss?
It has to come to a halt.
This is beginning to develop into a cult.
Taking over the minds of the young, ...

I Lie Awake
I lie awake this very night,
Thinking about us…
How everything between us has turned out just right.
We have been through so much together.
Nothing has managed to tear us apart.
Not even this bad “weather”…
I lie awake this very night,
Remembering every fight that we have ever struggled through.
We have made it out of the darkness and into the light.
Overcoming our struggles and hardships are something that we do.
We have made it through…
I gaze at the beautiful handmade ring.
The ring that you gave me when you...

How Can I Go On?
How can I go on living every day the way I do,
And living without you?
The tears are now streaming down my face.
How could they have come,
And where from?
Who are you to make me shed these tears?
So full of sorrow...
So full of the aching need to be with you...
This ever growing ache in my chest is begining to consume me,
Or maybe it already has.
The pain I feel without you at my side is never resting.
As long as you are not around,
My happiness is nowhere to be found.
What happiness I do have lies with you.
And living without you?
The tears are now streaming down my face.
How could they have come,
And where from?
Who are you to make me shed these tears?
So full of sorrow...
So full of the aching need to be with you...
This ever growing ache in my chest is begining to consume me,
Or maybe it already has.
The pain I feel without you at my side is never resting.
As long as you are not around,
My happiness is nowhere to be found.
What happiness I do have lies with you.
